even i haven't seen just a moment of the opening games. but i'm proud of china. because i love it. i din't spoke the language yet but i will learn it . congratulation

中国和马来西亚就像英国和美国，当然我指的不是历史，而是说同样语言的两个不同的国家，中国举办奥运会是全体华人的光荣，骄傲不骄傲是自己的事，不必赶这个时髦，中国办奥运会完全在情理之中，也是必然结果。还有比中国更理想的地方吗？如果能主办足球世界杯，那还是有点意外的。 本来一个很普通的话题，一掺和政治就变味了。

对一个美籍华人来说。。。 i am more proud to be a chinese than ever! being Chinese in another country means u will lose some of ur culture inherently and u will also adopt and assimilate many things from the country u live in. i have faced lots of prejudice and racism my whole life living in the US and even now, and i tell u it hasn't been easy. But i have always been proud of my culture and heritage and my roots in China. I have always tried to defend the Chinese honour from those who have tried to mock or ridicule us. Chinese have always been a minority in the US and have always been treated like 3rd class citizens. That is reason why the Chinese in the US have prospered the most than anywhere else in the world! We have been representing the Chinese in a very good light to the rest of the world for the past 150 years. Foreigners also base their little knowledge of Chinese from the movies and other biased media. Now China has once again become one of most powerful countries in the world and is coming out to the rest of the world and taking its rightful place. I have waited my whole life for people to respect Chinese and what they are capable of doing - we can do anything we set our minds to including sports. So i herald in the 2008 Olympics with a proud cheer and root for the Chinese Natl. Team first and the US second (because that is how i see myself, first as a Chinese and second as an American). 最可惜的是忘本! 无论如何要为自己和自己的身份骄傲。就象我父母教了我不管怎么样我永远是中国人! 中国万岁万万岁! 加油! :D

说得好Maple :)

I was made in China baby! That's all I got to say. Soon to be representing the 010! I have love for my birth place, Canada, a place I will always call home and for China as well -I got enough love to go around.
